Cuellar: 'An outline of how a government shutdown would affect you'

Washington, D.C. -- In preparation for a Republican shutdown of the federal government, today Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released information on how a government shutdown could affect taxpayers.

“Over the last few weeks, I’ve worked diligently to avoid a government shutdown,” Cuellar said. “Such an event would adversely impact seniors, veterans and military families and those who have car payments, mortgage payments and out of pocket expenses on medical prescriptions. However, if a bipartisan agreement is not found, it is important to make constituents aware of available federal government services. It is my job as the U.S. Representative for the 28th District of Texas to provide information and resources for my constituents.”

Tax Filers
• Those filing paper tax returns would not receive tax refunds from the IRS, and many taxpayers would be unable to receive service from the IRS to help them meet their tax obligations. The 400 walk-in service centers throughout the country would be closedwww.irs.gov

Seniors

• Social Security checks would be sent to beneficiaries
• Services in field offices and processing centers will be limited
• No new and replacement cards or updated earnings records will be processed
• Disability determination services limited

• Most Department of Defense budget planning and preparation would cease; military personnel would not receive paychecks during a funding lapse

• Military operations in Afghanistan, Libya, and Iraq would continuewww.defense.gov

Veterans
•Most of the Veterans Benefits Administration customer support services would be suspended

• Medical services for veterans would continue to be available www.va.gov

Federal Employees

• About 12,325 federal employees in the 28th District of Texas would be affected by the government shutdown. They would not report to work at their respective federal jobs.www.opm.gov

Businesses

• No new approvals of Small Business Administration (SBA)-guaranteed loans for business working capital, real estate investment or job creation activities would occur

• Inspections of stock brokers, receipt and publication of corporate financial disclosures, and routine oversight of financial markets by Federal agencies would cease

• Agricultural export credit activity and other agricultural trade development and monitoring would cease. www.comerce.gov

Communities, Cities and Municipalities

• The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund would suspend its grants and technical assistance to communities across the country, delaying investments that finance businesses and create jobs in distressed neighborhoods.

• Department of Commerce grant-making programs for economic development would cease, as would most payments by HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program to State and local governments.

• Customer service would be reduced across the federal government. www.cdfifund.gov ,

Cuellar reassures taxpayers that his office will remain open to continue to provide essential services to his constituents.

“While it’s still unclear whether my staff would be paid, it is clear that I must continue to provide essential constituent services to our area. Every community can count on my office being open -- we will continue our work, as usual,” Cuellar said.

On Thursday, Congressman Cuellar voted to appropriate funds for military service members to ensure they continue to receive their paychecks in the event of a government shutdown. As a fiscal conservative, Congressman Cuellar also voted several times to prohibit Members of Congress from receiving a salary during a government shutdown.

“Earlier this week, the Blue Dog Coalition sent a letter to President Obama asking Congress to find a bipartisan solution and keep the government from shutting down,” Cuellar said. “I renew that call today. American taxpayers are asking us to lead the way out of the recession and solve the debt crisis by working together to find common sense solutions--not play politics. A shutdown would hamper critical services and functions that tens of millions need to survive on a daily basis.”

Attached is a memo that has more information on how a government shutdown would impact constituents of the 28th District of Texas.

Congressman Henry Cuellar is a member of the U.S. House Homeland Security and Agriculture Committees. Job creation, accessibility to constituents, education, economic development, and national security are his priorities. Congressman Cuellar is also a Vice Chairman of the Steering and Policy Committee, Senior Whip, and member of the Blue Dog Coalition.

If that's the jolt our Government needs is to shut the Government down, then DO IT! PADLOCK THE FRONT DOORS OF CONGRESS AND EVICT ALL THE IDIOTS CURRENTLY RESIDING THERE! The Country is in crisis and the Senate/House leaders have gone out of country, Congress has recessed for 2 weeks, and Slobberbama is out west campaigning...
This country deserves better politicians than it has...
If Slobberbama really thought we are in crisis (as he said yesterday), he would call an emergency session of Congress and hammer out needed details over the next 2 or 3 days and get the recovery underway...but, you haven't heard any alerts on TV indicating that Congress has been called back, have you? Of course not...all LIP SERVICE! Slobberbama doesn't care, he secretly hates America, he wants to the economy and the system to fail...I just feel deep down that's his movitivation!
And, if that is true, then Slobberbama and all his radical, Socialist, Union, Communist buddies can take a slow train to H E L L!

Man this guy is hell bent on scaring rather than educating citizens.
As if the selfish dolts in Washington would allow a shutdown to endure longer than a couple of days. I mean once each side gets their mileage from the political posturing there is no purpose in prolonging the shutdown...I mean it's all monopoly money anyhow.

P.S. Cuellar doesn't even read through his OWN links. Why am I not surprised because he doesn't read a bill before passing it.
Here is the REAL like I followed from the inaccurate propaganda link and a quote:
"Department of Defense (DoD) Operations During a Shutdown
“Operations and activities that are essential to safety, protection of human life, and protection of our national security, are ‘excepted’ from shutting down. The DoD will continue to conduct activities in support of our national security, including operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Japan; Libya-related support operations; and other operations and activities essential to the security of our nation. The department must also continue to provide for the safety of human life and protection of property.
“Other excepted activities will include inpatient and essential outpatient care in DoD medical treatment facilities; emergency dental care; non-appropriated funds activities such as mess halls and child care activities; certain legal activities to support ongoing litigation and legal assistance for deployed DoD personnel; contracting and logistics operations that are in support of excepted activities; certain education and training activities to include the DoD education activity schools; and financial management activities necessary to ensure the control and accountability of funds.
“In the absence of appropriations, non-excepted activities that have not already been fully funded will need to be shut down in an orderly fashion. In accordance with existing laws and regulations, I will issue more detailed guidance to the department regarding specific activities that are considered excepted or non-excepted. However, the secretary and I understand that the military departments and defense agencies and individual commanders must tailor this guidance to many different situations around the world. Therefore, should there be a government shutdown, DoD personnel will be informed through their chain of command about how a shutdown may affect them personally. "

OK Cuellar, lies, propaganda, and more lies. I would not believe Cuellar if his tongue came notorized. This is the typical kind of scare tactics run by Cuellar and those of his ilk like Nancy "I have a private jet' Pelosi and Harry 'I got reelected thanks to Acorn and votor fraud (check out the judicial election this week up north and the blatant voter fraud there). I would not believe Cuellar if his tongue came notorized!
